So I was in training for most of last week (trying to learn more about child crimes like sexual and physical abuse, sex trafficking, and child pornography) which was really interesting. I did get to work Sunday and Monday before class goes and here's how those days went.
Sunday I helped my beat partner out on her beat with a boyfriend-girlfriend dispute (not the first time we've been to this particular apartment for this couple). The boyfriend was finally (!) fed up with the girlfriend and just wanted to get his stuff and leave. The girlfriend refused to let him inside to get his things and when he asked just to get a little bit of things out of her car she still refused. This particular female just loved having this little bit of control over the guy. It was very petty. It's sad when you actually have someone trying to just move on and the other half just won't let him.
Monday started my day off with traffic court. I wrote this older gentleman a ticket for making an illegal U-turn at an intersection that A) has a sign saying no U-turn but B) just doesn't have enough room to safely make a U-turn. I don't know how you fight a ticket like this one- I think he was just hoping I wouldn't show.
Well after waiting an hour in court, the guy sends a message into the court saying he was stuck at the VA hospital and couldn't make it because if he left for court he would have to wait another four months just to get an appointment with a doctor. The judge made a comment saying she hopes that was the real deal and he wasn't faking being a veteran and using the VA as an excuse. She let me reset the court date to a day of my own choosing. Let's see if he shows up or not!
